When it comes to our homes, there are often two rooms that will really sell your house or perhaps add the most value. This tends to be the kitchen and the bathroom. The kitchen happens to be a big job, but the bathroom can actually be made over quite simply if you have the time and investment for it. The bathroom is one of the most used rooms in the home, and we want to ensure that it not only looks good but is also very functional too.
You may be wondering what parts of the bathroom you can makeover or even the things you can do easily to improve the look. It doesn’t matter whether you have a full renovation or just make small changes, whatever you do will have a big impact on your home. So what can you do? If a bathroom renovation is in the cards this year, then here are some ideas to consider:
Look for inspiration in different places:
When it comes to deciding on what you want to do, the best thing would be to try and get some inspiration and ideas from different sources. There is a real mix of inspiration out there if you know where to look. Websites like Pinterest are full of great ideas as well as hacks and DIY tricks you can get. Instagram is also a wonderful place to see real life homes and what other people have done. Many share their homes online through their feed and it can be a great source of information and advice. Perhaps you will have an HGTV binge watch session for your inspo. Even visiting the websites of renovation specialists like acbathrooms.au can be most helpful in determining what styles and materials you like. It is a good idea to do this first before you start any renovations or get quotes. You need to know exactly what you want.
Replace the bathroom suite:
One of the biggest and possibly most expensive changes to make would be to replace the whole bathroom suite. This could be an especially good decision if your bathroom is a little dated. You may want to try out a new sized bath or have a standalone shower instead of it being over the tub. If you are doing any pipe work and installation, it may be advisable to look for an expert in both design and plumbing like this Bathroom remodeler Rockwall, TX (or a similar professional in your area!). Calling in the professionals is important so that the installation of pipes is correct and they don’t leak or cause damage. Otherwise, it can end up being a huge disaster.
If you are replacing the full suite, you will need to do some shopping to refurnish the space. Remodeling shows on HGTV or posts on Pinterest can be a great source for inspiration. You can also browse the selection of different stores like Westside Bathrooms to start putting your wish list of must have items together.
Make changes to one area:
Maybe you want to focus on just one change that you want to make in the bathroom. This can still make a dramatic difference to how a bathroom looks and feels. It might be that you replace the flooring or choose a new tile for the walls. It could even be replacing the light fittings or lowering the ceiling so you can fit modern spotlights. Another thing you could consider is the vanity, the cabinets, and the storage. Replacing those can make a big difference. Places like Pinnacle Cabinetry and Design could be a good option to consider. They may seem like small changes but they can make a big difference to how your bathroom looks and could certainly give it the wow factor with little effort and upheaval for you.
Do you want a theme for your bathroom?
A great way to make a simple change to your bathroom is to consider a theme. This is especially easy if you have a blank canvas to work with such as a white bathroom suite or plain walls. A theme can be a great way to add a different touch. It could be a nautical theme where you add subtle features such as toothbrush holders, ornaments, and pictures on the wall. It could be that you want to think about adding a color which we cover a bit more about in the next idea. Finally, a theme could be as simple as going for a modern, vintage, or even retro vibe.
Change up the color scheme:
Finally, a change of color scheme, although sounding very simple, can make a big difference to your space. It could be changing the accessories or adding a splash of color through the towels you have on display, for example. A hint of color here and there or going all out with color everywhere can instantly freshen up a bathroom space. If you have a singular color palette for your bathroom’s fixtures, a more drastic change won’t be possible by simply adding accessories. Companies like The Bathroom Workshop (or a similar one in your local area) can assist with the design and installation of fixtures for a fresh new look with a color scheme you love. It will make a huge difference and might inspire you to take on the other bathrooms in your home too.
We’re leaving blah bathrooms behind in 2020 and with some inspiration from Pinterest and help from the experts, this will be your best home renovation yet!
